the disk bulge issue not sure if peptides would helpJust a bit of an update on the peptides used throughout this healing and fat loss journey so far, which is still ongoing.
Peptide Use & Effects – My Experience
---
What I’ve Been Using:
BPC-157 – 500mcg AM & PM
TB-500 – 500mcg AM & PM
GHK-Cu – 1mg AM & PM
HGH – 4IU PM
MOTS-c – 2mg AM (started ~1 week ago)
5-Amino-1MQ – 50mg AM (started ~1 week ago)
SLUPP-322 – 500mcg oral (started ~1 week ago)

Why I’m Using Them:
Main goal is to help heal my C3/C6 injury, keep inflammation down, recover faster between sessions, and hold onto muscle while cutting. Some of these (like MOTS-c, SLUPP-322, and 5-Amino-1MQ) are more for energy, fat loss and keeping performance up, while BPC/TB-500/GHK-Cu are all about repairing soft tissue and joints. HGH is in there for recovery and keeping muscle.
I actually started this peptide protocol before I even knew about the retrolisthesis and disc bulge, so in hindsight it’s probably been helping me more than I realised early on.

What I’ve Noticed:
Neck/shoulder area isn’t flaring up as bad after training
I can get through more volume in the gym without feeling smashed
Recovery between sessions feels quicker, less soreness hanging around
Strength in pressing movements feels like it’s slowly coming back
Holding muscle and staying fuller even while in a deficit
Less general inflammation, joints feel better (especially elbows/knees)
Small stuff like cuts and skin seem to heal faster
Energy has been more steady through the day, not as many “flat” days
Before starting MOTS-c, SLUPP-322, and 5-Amino-1MQ I had bouts of fatigue, but haven’t noticed that this past week, will continue to monitor over the next few weeks.
Still need to work on improving sleep quality, especially REM and deep phases

Things to Keep in Mind:
I didn’t even know about the retrolisthesis and disc bulge until about halfway through this phase, so looking back, I was probably pushing harder than I should’ve early on. I’m also running other PEDs and fat loss compounds, so it’s hard to say exactly how much is from the peptides alone. Plus diet, training changes and mindset all play a role. But overall, I do think the peptides have been a big help for recovery and keeping me training despite the injury.

Overall:
Definitely feel like this combo has sped up healing and let me keep more muscle while dropping fat. Recovery feels better, inflammation is down, energy is more consistent, and I’m still able to push in the gym without setting my neck back.
I would like to give a big shout out to the livewell legends for enabling this protocol and helping me heal as much as possible through this unfortunate event with their sponsorship of products

@Livewell rep
but i was thinking something like ghrp or mk677 or real hgh could
you test that?
